Grant For Research NNX16AQ43G

This federal contract award, valued at $181,284.08, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF) to conduct research comparing ground-based and satellite-based measurements of trace gases and aerosols. The project will analyze data from the Arctic Observing Network O-Buoy network and long-term measurements from Barrow, Alaska to investigate the relationship between ground-based Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) observations and satellite-based products, such as those from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO). This research aims to support the transition from low-Earth orbit to geostationary satellite platforms for trace gas and aerosol monitoring. The contract does not have a set-aside designation, as it was awarded directly to the public University of Alaska Fairbanks.
